Feldman, Executive Secretary Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation 550 17th Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20429 Attention: Comments RIN 3064-AD85 Re: Restrictions on Proprietary Trading and Certain Interests in, and Relationships with, Hedge Funds and Private Equity Funds Dear Ladies and Gentlemen: The National Trust for Historic Preservation ("National Trust") and the Historic Tax Credit Coalition ("HTCC") are pleased to have the opportunity to respond to the Notice of Proposed Rule Making request for public input related to the implementation of Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the so-called "Volker Rule." We have chosen to respond to questions 276-280 to demonstrate our unconditional support for Section 619, which clarifies the definition of "public welfare" investments to explicitly include federal and state historic tax credit equity investments. The National Trust (www.PreservationNation.org) is a privately-funded, federally-chartered, nonprofit organization that works to save America's historic places for the next generation. It is committed to protecting America's rich cultural legacy and to helping build vibrant, sustainable communities that reflect our nation's diversity. The National Trust takes direct action to save the places that matter while bringing the voices of the preservation movement to the forefront nationally. The HTCC (www.historiccredit.wordpress.com) is a group of historic tax credit industry representatives who have come together to help develop a consensus on ways to modernize the federal Historic Tax Credit (HTC). Its members are tax credit syndicators, investors, tax attorneys, accountants, preservation consultants and real estate developers who are involved in the business of using the HTC as a financing tool to promote economic development through the rehabilitation of historic properties. The HTCC's 1 | Page activities include research on the economic impact of the HTC, the development of legislative and regulatory proposals to promote the simplification and greater use the HTC, and efforts to foster greater communication between the National Park Service, the Internal Revenue Service and the HTC industry. Question 276 - Is the proposed rule's approach to implementing the SBIC, public welfare and qualified rehabilitation investment exemption for acquiring or retaining an ownership interest in a covered fund effective? If not, what alternative approach would be more effective? The National Trust and HTCC strongly endorse the definition of a public welfare investment as stated in Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Banks have been significant investors over the years in federal and state historic tax credits. These lending institutions have consistently sought Part 24 approval (or equivalent approval depending on their federal regulator) as well as CRA credit for these investments. Historic tax credit syndicators who are members of the HTCC have reported that under previous, stricter definitions of public welfare investments, lenders have been uncertain of whether regulators would approve these investments under Part 24, necessitating a deal-by- deal inquiry. Question 277 - Should the approach include other elements? If so, what elements and why? Should any of the proposed elements be revised or eliminated? If so, why and how? The National Trust and HTCC support the continued inclusion of the federal Historic Tax Credit and state Historic Tax Credits (HTC) in the definition of public welfare investments. As elaborated in more detail in the answers to Q278-280 below, the data show that these federal and state investments have a proven track record of promoting economic development, creating jobs and revitalizing residential and commercial neighborhoods in urban, rural and small town communities across the nation. Based on research conducted for the HTCC by Rutgers University's Center for Urban Policy Research (attached), the federal HTC, over the past 32 years, has leveraged $90.4 billion in private sector investments to help rehabilitate over 37,000 historic properties. At a total federal cost of $17.5 billion, the leverage ratio is approximately 5-1. Rutgers research has further shown that federal HTC investments have been responsible for creating 2 million jobs, $30.6 billion in federal, state and local taxes, $76.3 billion in household and business income, and generating gross domestic product of $103.8 billion. 1 These estimates measure impacts only through construction completion and do not include jobs, income and tax impacts generated after historic properties are placed in service, nor the economic impacts of heritage tourism often associated with these historic sites. These findings are estimated through the use of an input-output model called the Preservation Economic Impact Model (PEIM) developed for the National Park Service by Rutgers University. It is the only economic impact model that is adapted to measure the economic benefits of historic rehabilitation. Even though federal and state HTCs are not targeted to qualified low-income census tracts, because many historic properties are located in inner-cities, there is a high degree of correlation between the location of these investments and communities in economic distress. Research by the National Trust's tax credit subsidiary, National Trust Community Investment Corporation (NTCIC), has shown that between 2002 and 2008 two-thirds of all federal HTCs have been invested in census tracts eligible for the new markets 1 "Second Annual Report on the Economic Impact of the Federal Historic Tax Credit", (May 2011), Summary Exhibit 1, page 11. 2 | Page tax credit.2 Further research by NTCIC indicates that, in the first 4 rounds of the NMTC program, 10% of all NMTC transactions and 20% of the dollar volume of NMTC transactions twinned historic and new markets tax credits.3 State historic tax credits have similar impacts on low-income communities because they are almost always twinned with federal HTCs. Rutgers research and the work of economist Donavan Rypkema both conclude that historic rehabilitation is a more efficient producer of jobs than new construction.4 Rehabilitation is more labor intensive than new construction and, for some trades, requires hiring more skilled, higher wage labor. Because materials for rehabilitation are purchased primarily in the local market, on average, 75% of the economic impact of historic property redevelopment stays in the local economy. Historic rehabilitation is an inherently green activity. Recycling old buildings reduces landfill waste and saves energy by reusing existing materials rather than manufacturing new building components such as doors, windows, roofing and framing. Reusing existing buildings typically offers environmental savings over demolition and new construction - even if that new construction is energy-efficient.5 Rehabilitation is also an outstanding smart growth strategy, channeling public and private resources into existing communities supported by roads, utilities, schools and sewage facilities. Historic buildings have the unique ability to foster a sense of place which helps differentiate central business districts and small town centers and give them a market advantage. Because of the proven community revitalization, job creation, smart growth and green benefits noted above, the National Trust and HTCC believe that all federal and state HTC equity investments should remain exempt from the Volker Rule and included in the definition of public welfare investments. Question 278. Should the proposed rule permit a banking entity to sponsor an SBIC and other identified public interest investments? Why or why not? Does the Agencies' determination under section 13(d)(1)(J) of the BHC Act regarding sponsoring of an SBIC, public welfare or qualified rehabilitation investment effectively promote and protect the safety and soundness of banking entities and the financial stability of the United States? If not, why not? The National Trust and the HTCC believe the proposed rule does and should promote banking entities to sponsor historic rehabilitation through federal and state HTCs by forming tax credit funds to make multiple investments. The National Trust Community Investment Corporation has long-standing investor relationships with Bank of America, US Bank, PNC, SunTrust, Citibank, Trustmark Bank, Key Bank and Capital One to invest primarily in twinned historic and new markets transactions that span over a decade of investment activity totaling over $437 million in equity investments and new markets leveraged debt. These investments have had broad, demonstrable, economic impacts in communities of additional distress as defined by the US Treasury's CDFI Fund including the creation of 26,347 direct, indirect and induced jobs and the generation of $112.8 million

  • Marina Metevelis a True Blue “Rosie the Riveter” and Promoter and Preserver of Tulsa History, Including Its Famous Tunnels
    Marina Metevelis A true blue “Rosie the Riveter” and promoter and preserver of Tulsa history, including its famous tunnels. Chapter 01 – 0:59 Introduction Announcer: Marina Metevelis answered the call to defend the United States as one of the iconic bandanna-clad Rosie the Riveters. Marina was sixteen when Pearl Harbor was bombed in 1941—she applied for a job at the Wichita aircraft plant where the B-17 Flying Fortresses met the wings that carried them into battle. She became a Rosie the Riveter her senior year in high school. When she was a kid, Marina spent summers in Tulsa visiting her uncles. They were 32nd Degree Masons, and so were the oil barons. During those visits, Marina met all of the oil barons…thus her knowledge of Tulsa’s history and the tunnels in downtown Tulsa, which eventually led her to become a tour guide through those famous tunnels in 1992. She was also a librarian at Tulsa Community College [TCC] and served as Director of The Heritage Center at TCC. Marina was born in Wichita, Kansas in 1924. But her story actually begins in Greece which she talks about in her oral history interview on VoicesofOklahoma.com. Chapter 02 – 4:18 Coming to America John Erling: My name is John Erling and today’s date is October 20, 2011. Marina, would you state your full name, please. Marina Metevelis: Marina Ann Metevelis. JE: Your date of birth and your present age? MM: March 25, ’24, and I’m eighty-seven years old. JE: Where are we recording this interview? MM: We are recording in the Heritage Center at Northeast Campus of Tulsa Community College.
